"Withdrawal from school? Why?" Jiaojiao looked at Xiu Xi in shock, not knowing why he suddenly said that. They were doing well in school, and now they are in their first year of high school; why is there talk of withdrawing, especially both of them?
Xiu Xi looked at her delicate little face, unsure of how to respond for a moment.
She has been raised well, cute and kind, nothing like her previous life where she lived in a cave and endured harsh conditions. Now, she is like a modern-day princess, cherished by everyone, so pure that people want to shield her from any negativity, fearing those things might taint her.
But now—
She's dying.
She could die at any moment.
How could he bear to tell her such a cruel thing?
For the first time, Xiu Xi understood what it meant to feel like his heart was being cut with a knife. It was as if someone held a blade to his heart and twisted it, leaving him speechless from the pain.
